[SOC] Life: explained

[Kevin Rock]

On the first day Lord created cow.
And Lord said, "You must go to the field with the
farmer all day long and suffer under the sun, have
calves and give milk to support the farmer. I will
give you a life span of sixty years." Cow said,
"That's a kind of a tough life you want me to live for
sixty years. Let me have twenty years and I'll give
back the other forty."  And Lord agreed.

On the second day Lord created dog.
And to dog, Lord said, "Sit all day by the door of
your house and bark at anyone who comes in or walks
past. I will give you a life span of twenty years."
Dog said, "That's too long to be barking. Give me ten
years and I'll give back the other ten. So Lord agreed
(sigh).

On the third day Lord created monkey.
Lord said, "Entertain people, do monkey tricks, make
them laugh. I'll give you a twenty year life span."
Monkey said, "How boring, monkey tricks for twenty
years? I don't think so. Dog gave you back ten, so
that's what I'll do too, okay? And Lord agreed again.

On the fourth day Lord created man.
Lord said, "Eat, sleep, play, enjoy. Do nothing, just
enjoy, enjoy. I'll give you twenty years." Man said,
"What? Only twenty years? No way man. Tell you what,
I'll take my twenty, and the forty cow gave back, and
the ten monkey gave back, and the ten dog gave back.
That makes eighty, okay?" "Okay," said Lord. "You've
got a deal."

So that is why for the first twenty years we eat,
sleep, play, enjoy, and do nothing; for the next forty
years we slave in the sun to support our family; for
the next ten years we do monkey tricks to entertain
our grandchildren; and for the last ten years we sit
in front of the house and bark at everybody.
